IMPORTANT PRODUCT RECALL NOTICE

Viking, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is recalling certain Viking Built-In 48-Inch Wide Side-by-Side Refrigerator/ Freezers manufactured before March 1, 2005 and certain Built-In 36-Inch Wide Refrigerators with a bottom freezer manufactured before April 10, 2006. No 42-Inch or freestanding refrigerators are involved in the recall. Viking will repair all affected refrigerators free of charge in your home.

Screws attaching the pivot plate of the top hinge on the door of affected refrigerators may shear causing the door to detach from the hinge pivot plate creating a risk of impact injury or fall. Viking has received 4 reports of injury and has received approximately 53 reports of doors detaching, some of which resulted in property damage.

You may continue to use the recalled products until they are repaired. However, you should inspect your refrigerator to see if the refrigerator door is exhibiting improper door sealing, door sagging or a failure to open and close normally. If you see one of these conditions, you should stop using the refrigerator and immediately contact Viking using the phone number below. Viking will repair all refrigerators subject to the recall at no charge to consumers.
